State Technical Assistance Team Assigned To Aid Bridgeport Schools

News release from Bridgeport Public Schools:

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Bridgeport Public Schools (BPS) welcomes the Technical Assistance Team’s support as we work to improve student outcomes and district stability.

“Our focus is on students—always,” said Dr. Royce Avery, Interim Superintendent. “This collaboration will help us build a stronger future for every learner.”

The Technical Assistance Team, appointed by the Connecticut State Board of Education, is a group of education experts specializing in district operations, finance, special education, and governance. Their role is to provide guidance and targeted support to help BPS address challenges and drive sustainable improvements.

For Bridgeport, this means added expertise to strengthen financial stability, enhance instructional practices, and ensure students—especially those with special education needs—receive the support they deserve. This partnership will help us build a more effective,
student-focused school system.

We thank Commissioner Charlene M. Russell-Tucker and the Connecticut State Department of Education for their commitment to Bridgeport’s students. Their support reinforces our shared mission of delivering the highest quality education for every child.

We are committed to transparency, community engagement, and lasting progress for Bridgeport’s students and families.
